- 42:49
- February 17th 2016
Darrel Griffin is a business social media mentor who creates customer-focused LinkedIn training that helps companies and solopreneurs win more business.
Darrel discusses with Trevor Young a manifesto he has written specifically for his use of LinkedIn in 2016.
The interview takes a philosophical turn when Trevor and Darrel dive into the broader topic of how best to do business in today's digital age, with Darrel articulating a strong argument for providing value and building productive relationships.
He says most people come to him with the question: "How do I create leads with LinkedIn?". He counters with idea people should instead be asking themselves: "How do I provide value to my connections?"
CRANK THE 3RD: Exploring the entrepreneurial + creative side of life post 50
CRANK THE 3RD is a weekly podcast in which we explore the entrepreneurial and creative side of life post 50.
You've survived the first two professional chapters of your lives - 20s to mid-30s (chapter 1) and mid-30s and through your 40s (chapter 2).
Welcome to the 3rd chapter! By this stage of your professional life, you've seen a lot, done most things, made some cash, expanded your horizons and probably are more comfortable in your skin than at any other time.
But it’s not necessarily all sunshine and roses either. At some stage, many of us reach a point where we ask: “Is that all there is?”
While we have oodles of experience under our belts and are a lot more sure of ourselves and confident in our own abilities, we also live in a fast-paced volatile world.
Technology is ever-changing, and the AI wave has only just begun. A sense of uncertainty is never far away. We know that if we stand still, we run the risk of losing relevance.
No matter how savvy, experienced and connected we are, certain challenges remain.
But on the upside, the number of opportunities staring us in the face is enormous, and unprecedented!
The goal of CRANK THE 3RD is to inspire energised, forward-thinking 50 and 60-somethings to continue to think expansively and creatively about their current situation, and to ponder, plot and plan the exciting road they have ahead of them.
You’ve put in the hard yards: now it’s time to capitalise!
Let’s dive in!
